T 0 all w I71 0m it may concern Be it known that I, MAURICE KLEIN, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York,borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, haveinvented a new and Improved Bloomer Dress, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to wearing apparel especially adapted for use bychildren, and has reference more particularly to a combination dress andbloomers.

An object of this invention is to provide a combination of bloomers anddress which is simple of construction and easy to launder.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part ofthis specification in which it is understood that the drawingillustrates only one form of the invention, and in which Figure 1 is aview of the bloomer dress in position.

Figure 2 is a sectional view through the bloomer dress being taken onthe line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 10 indicates a dresshaving sleeves 11 and neck band 12 of the usual construction. The lowerportion of the dress or skirt 13 is preferably provided with an inwardlyand upwardly turned flap 1a which terminates at its upper end in a hem15. The bloomers 16 are constructed in the usual manner with an elasticband 17 which passes through a tuck 18 formed on the bottom of each leg,said band being adapted to draw the bottom of the bloomers tightlyaround the childs leg. The upper end of the bloomer 16 is provided witha downwardly extending flap 19 which is positioned between the skirt 13and the hem 15, and a seam 20 is sewed around the skirt 13, the threadsof said seam passing through the skirt 13, the hem. 15, the flap 19, andthe 1 upper edge of the bloomers 16. Thus a combination dress andbloomers is provided which is simple to manufacture, comfortable towear, and easy to launder. By reference to Figure 1, it will be noticedthat the upper end of the bloomer 16 is attached to the skirt 13 of thedress 10 a considerable distance below the waist thereof, and hence thebloomer 16 is out of the way when opening the dress or skirt at the backfor sanitary purposes. It will further be noticed that by arranging thebloomer so far down as shown and described it requires practically onlyabout one half of the material now used in making the usual bloomer.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

A garment comprising a dress having a skirt provided at its lowerportion with an inwardly and upwardly turned flap terminating at itsupper edge in a hem located a distance below the waist line of theskirt, a bloomer provided with legs and having at its upper end anoutwardly and downwardly extending flap enclosing the hem of the skirtflap and extending between the body of the skirt and the said hem, and acircumferential row of stitching fastening the said skirt, hem andbloomer flap together.

MAURICE KLEIN.
